"Sometimes you just need a straightforwardly delicious meal—and this is the place to get one. Customers range from workers to hipsters to tourists who've heard about the legendary tacos. Many consider this the gold standard for San Diego Mexican food. The food—at least, the few items you have to choose from—is inexpensive and authentic. Our advice? Go with the rolled tacos slathered in sour cream and cheese, or the rice and beans with chorizo, served with two flour tortillas. Whatever you get, it'll taste like your abuela made it just for you—and it'll only cost you and your dining buddy about $20 total. This is a place to take a fellow foodie, who's not opposed to long lines and bare bones decor in the name of authenticity and taste." - Archana Ram, Marie Tutko
